Nikon D7100

Full Review

Short of committing to a full-frame beast, the D7100 (MSRP $1,199.95 body-only or $1,599.95 with the 18-105mm VR kit lens) is the most advanced Nikon camera money can buy. Replacing the D7000 and aging D300s at the top of Nikon's DX format lineup, the D7100 offers no less than 51 phase detection focus points (15 cross-type), a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor with its low-pass filter removed, better video options, and a few improved usability features like a larger LCD.
